For those of you into diving (Count me in that group!)
The University of Minnesota will be the host of the 2009 NCAA Zone C Diving Championships March 13-15 at University Aquatic Center. The meet serves as the qualifying competition for the NCAA Championships in College Station, Texas. Eight men and 10 women will obtain berths to the NCAA Championships from the zone.
Competitions in the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard events and the platform will consist of a six-dive preliminaries session. After a brief break, the top 18 divers will advance to the finals. Scores from the preliminaries will carry over to the finals session to help determine a champion.
